Managing File Volumes
Viewing File Volume Information
File volumes are the basic unit of logical storage for a file system on the NAS
server. You create file volumes by allocating space in a volume group.
Therefore, before you can create a file volume, you must create a volume
group.
After you have created file volumes, you can create directories under the new
file volumes to organize your data.
To view summary information on all file volumes that exist on your NAS
server:
1 In the Command View NAS web interface, click the Storage tab.
2 Navigate down the tree to File Volumes, then select File Volumes
Summary.
A table displays the following information for every file volume:
■ File volume name
■ Volume group the file volume is a part of
■ Amount of total capacity of the file volume
■ Amount of space actually used by each volume
■ Amount of free space available within each volume
■ Notification threshold
■ Whether quotas are enabled or disabled
■ Number of snapshots defined for each file volume
■ Number of shares defined for the file volume level
You can click on a column heading to sort items in that column. The Actions
button in the upper left corner lets you to create, edit, and delete file volumes.
From the Actions button you can also create a new snapshot or refresh the
information in the table by selecting Actions > Refresh.
